Rich and deep and excitingly crafted, this is one story you won't be able to forget for a long, long time. It's yet another time-travel fic, with Cloud and Aeris going back in time, the only difference is, the future is still there - changing, yes, but plodding along parallel to the past.
Of all the time-travel fics I've rec'd so far, this one is by far the single most deliciously sexy, sensual, gorgeously erotic one of the lot. The sex in this story is hot and heavy, thrilling and tantalizingly amazing. Better still, the sex is an actual part of the plot, moving the story along and absolutely essential to the development of the characters. This is no mere PWP, this is good, honest life, with all of its joys and sorrows, pleasures and pain.
The friendships that Cloud strikes up make this one of the few stories that involve more than just Cloud changing the past. This story is full of training, survival, friendships, fighting, and camaraderie. Even though Cloud doesn't have any mako in him, and is in his fifteen year old body, that doesn't mean that his skills at leading others have any less value, and Cloud puts all of his mental and emotional training into effect to create rippling changes that no-one could have foreseen.

Summary: They say that what goes around comes around - and this time Cloud is given a
chance to get what he wants. Back at the beginning.
I have to say that this is one of the most well-rounded time-travel stories I've ever read in FFVII, simply because the plot is so tightly woven even though it contains so many separate elements, making it an absolute joy to read.
